The Girl Made of Plastic Wrap
Will anyone ever tell her?
when you first open your eyesand see a bright lightyour eyes need to adjustand that's what a friendshipis like with hera shiny new toy
that promises you the worldand in a whirlwind of dinnersand coffees
she moves so fastyou can barely see herand one day you slow down
and your eyes adjust
and the reflections of yourselfthat she absorbed fade awayand suddenly she is transparent
the layers of plastic wrapno longer protect herfor you are all seeing nowher lies are a house of carsshe tried to rebuild everysaturday nightwill anyone ever tell her?we can all see her bones are made of dust

A Hiatus Turned Reflection
No, I wasn't dead, nor fighting off some great mystical beast tyrannizing a group of villagers. To those who look forward to what I have to say, or to put it better, write, I am genuinely sorry for my disappearance from the Vocal platform and community.

Capturing Magic
In the world of photography, timing is the key to everything. While skilled compositions and technical proficiency are undoubtedly crucial, the perfect lighting can create the perfect photo. Nowadays, we can determine any light ourselves and are no longer dependent on any natural light source, thanks to the developed technology. We can turn every day into a night by using the right filters. And we can illuminate every night to be seen as a day. A typical process, especially in the film industry.
